If this design causes you concern, burley make an after marker clamp that removes the one which connects as you decribe and replaces the rear quick release, and attached to their q/r with a pin.

Also moves the trailer further back, so your left heel doesn't his the mounting hardware on shorter chainstayed bicycles.

I have an oldish Alan frame and am often using it to pull a Burley trailer with one or two children. The trailer attachment mechanism is designed to exert stress on three points on the left rear triangle, torquing the frame around the dropout, a very simple and effective design. Does anyone have any experience with fatigue of the glued components in that area and possible damage to the frame?

Thank you,

Nikos
